an EPA chemical-resistance category selection chart.
Environmental Hazards
Prolonged or frequently repeated skin contact may cause
allergic reaction in some individuals.
This product may contaminate water through drift of spray
in wind. This product has a potential for runoff for several
months or more after application. Poorly draining soils and
soils with shallow water tables are more prone to produce
runoff that contains this product. A level, well-maintained
vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product
is applied and surface water features, such as ponds,
streams and springs, will reduce the potential for contamination of water from rainfall runoff. Runoff of this product
will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is
forecast to occur within 48 hours. Sound erosion-control
practices will reduce this product’s contribution to surface
water contamination.
Applicators and other handlers must wear:
• Long-sleeved shirt and long pants
• Chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof
material (such as nitrile, butyl, neoprene, and/or barrier
laminate)
• Shoes plus socks

Container Disposal
Nonrefillable Container. DO NOT reuse or refill this
container. Triple rinse or pressure rinse container (or
3
equivalent) promptly after emptying; then offer for recycling,
if available, or reconditioning, if appropriate, or puncture
and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or by incineration, or by
other procedures approved by state and local authorities.
Resistance Management
The active ingredients in Pageant are pyraclostrobin
(Group 11) and boscalid (Group 7).
Fungal isolates resistant to Group 11 (strobilurin or QoI)
fungicides, such as pyraclostrobin, azoxystrobin, trifloxystrobin, and kresoxim-methyl, and Group 7 (carboximide)
fungicides may eventually dominate the fungal population if
Group 7 or 11 fungicides are used predominantly and
repeatedly in the same area in successive years as the
primary method of control for the targeted pathogen
species. This may result in reduction of disease control by
Pageant or other Group 7 or 11 fungicides. Apply
Pageant in an alternation or tank mix program with other
registered fungicides that have a different mode of action
and to which pathogen resistance has not developed. DO
NOT make more than 2 sequential applications of
Pageant. Alternate with a fungicide of a different mode of
action before reapplying Pageant. DO NOT alternate
Pageant with other Group 11 fungicides.
Triple rinse containers small enough to shake
(capacity < 50 pounds) as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank. Fill
the container 1/4 full with water and recap. Shake for
10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application equipment or a
mix tank or store for later use or disposal. Drain for
10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat this
procedure 2 more times.
Pressure rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or mix tank. Hold container upside down over application equipment or mix
tank, or collect rinsate for later use or disposal. Insert
pressure rinsing nozzle in the side of the container and
rinse at about 40 PSI for at least 30 seconds. Drain for
10 seconds after the flow begins to drip.

Aerial Application Methods and Equipment
The interaction of many equipment- and weather-related
factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these
factors when making decisions.
DO NOT apply under circumstances where possible drift
to unprotected persons, to food, forage, or other plantings
that might be damaged, or crops thereof rendered unfit for
sale, use or consumption can occur.

Spray Drift Management
Sensitive Areas
Apply Pageant only when the potential for drift to adjacent
sensitive areas (e.g. bodies of water or nontarget plants) is
minimal and when wind is blowing away from the sensitive
areas.
The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops.
1. The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom
must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor.
2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air
stream and never be pointed downward more than 45
degrees.
Where states have more stringent regulations, they must
be observed.
Information on Droplet Size
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply
large droplets. Use the largest droplet size consistent with
acceptable efficacy. Applying larger droplets reduces drift
potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made
improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions
(see Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and
Temperature Inversions).
No aerial application in New York State except as permitted under
FIFRA Section 24(c), Special Local Need Registration.
1
Begin Pageant™ fungicide applications prior to disease
development and continue throughout the season at specified intervals following resistance management guidelines.
Pageant works best when used as part of a preventive
disease management program. Use of Pageant as a late
curative or eradicant treatment may not always result in
satisfactory disease control. DO NOT exceed 7.3 lbs (118
ozs) product per use site acre per year.
Controlling Droplet Size
• Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest
practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows
produce larger droplets.
• Pressure - DO NOT exceed the nozzle manufacturer's
recommended pressures. For many nozzle types, lower
pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow
rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of
increasing pressure.
• Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of
nozzles that provide uniform coverage.
• Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray
is released parallel to the airstream produces larger
droplets than other orientations and is recommended
DO NOT exceed the recommended application rate or fail
to comply with the use restrictions listed in the Resistance
Management and Restrictions and Limitations sections. Make all applications according to the use directions
that follow. Failure to follow directions and precautions on
this label may result in injury and/or inferior disease control.

practice. Significant deflection from the horizontal will
reduce droplet size and increase drift potential.
• Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the
intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower
spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using
low-drift nozzles. Solid-stream nozzles oriented straight
back produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift.
directions for control of specific diseases. Repeat applications at specified intervals (plus alternations for resistance
management) for as long as required.
Applications Directions - Drench
Pageant may be applied preventively as a drench treatment for control of certain soilborne, seedling and crown
diseases in production ornamentals including Rhizoctonia
solani, and Fusarium spp. For control of Phytophthora spp.
and Pythium spp., apply Pageant in tank mix with another
fungicide effective against these diseases.
Wind
Drift potential is lowest when wind speed does not exceed
10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and
equipment type, determine drift potential at any given
speed. Avoid application when wind speed is below 2 mph
due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential.
Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator
must be familiar with local wind patterns and how they
affect spray drift.
Thorough coverage and wetting of root zone, crown and
base of the plant and surrounding growth media is necessary for best control. Use enough solution to wet the root
zone of the plant. Provide a well-drained substrate at the
time of application. Avoid watering plants for several hours
before application in order to improve plant uptake of the
product. Repeat applications as needed within 7 to 21
days.
Temperature and Humidity
Low humidity and high temperatures increase the evaporation of spray droplets and therefore the likelihood of
increased spray drift.
Applications made to Plugs and Propagation trays or
beds: Use a broadcast or directed spray applied in sufficient water to obtain thorough coverage of the plant crown
and plant stem with thorough wetting of the soil surface.
Avoid spraying during conditions of low humidity and/or
high temperatures. When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets
to compensate for evaporation.
See Table 3. Pageant Treatment Rates for Drench
Treatments to Control Certain Soilborne Diseases
and Table 4 for more information regarding drench treatments. BASF does not recommend using Pageant alone
after symptoms of soilborne disease have become evident
as control may not be satisfactory.
Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are
both hot and dry.
Temperature Inversions
Applications must not occur during a temperature inversion
because drift potential is high. Temperature inversions
restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended
droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can
move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable
winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions
are characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude
and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and
light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and
often continue into the morning. Their presence can be
indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present,
inversions can also be identified by the movement of
smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an
inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
Plant Tolerance
The phytotoxic potential of Pageant has been assessed on
a wide variety of common ornamental plants with no phytotoxicity observed. Refer to Table 5. Pageant Tolerant
Plant Species for the list of plants shown to be tolerant to
Pageant. Not all plant species and their varieties and cultivars have been tested for tolerance to Pageant, possible
tank mix combinations of Pageant, pesticide treatments
preceding or following those of Pageant, and combinations of Pageant with adjuvants or surfactants. Local conditions can also influence plant tolerance and may not
match those under which BASF has conducted testing.
Therefore, before using Pageant, test the product on a
sample of the plant to be treated to ensure that a phytotoxic response will not occur prior to large-scale use.
DO NOT expose grapes of varieties Concord, Fredonia,
Niagara, Noiret (NY73.0136.17), Rougeon, Steuben, and
Worden, to spray or drift containing Pageant, as injury may
result. DO NOT expose Wintercreeper (Euonymus vegetus)
and Nine Bark (Physocarpus opulifolius) to spray or drift
containing Pageant as injury may result (see Table 6.
Plant Species NOT Tolerant to Pageant).
Application Directions - Foliar and
Crown-directed
Apply Pageant™ fungicide at use rates and intervals
stated in Table 2. Pageant Application Rates and
Intervals on Ornamentals Foliar and Crown Diseases
and Table 4. Rate Conversions for Volume-based and
Surface Area-based Applications of Pageant. Apply
Pageant as a broadcast or banded spray targeted at the
foliage or crown of the plant. Apply to runoff in sufficient
water to ensure complete coverage of the target plant.
Thorough coverage and wetting of foliage, crown and base
of the plant and growth media surrounding the crown is
necessary for best control. Refer to Table 2 for specific use
Use With Additives
Label directions are based on data without additives.
Additives or spray adjuvants are usually not necessary for
use with Pageant. If so desired, use only surfactants
approved for ornamental plants in combination with
Pageant. Test the product on a sample of the plant to be
treated to ensure that injury will not occur prior to large6
scale use. DO NOT use organosilicone-based adjuvants
with Pageant™ fungicide, as injury may result on certain
ornamental species. Always test tank mixes on a small
group of representative plants prior to broadscale use.
DO NOT spray when conditions favor drift beyond the area
intended for application. Plant injury, and lack of effectiveness, can occur with misapplication or drift. Thorough coverage of foliage is required for good control.
Cleaning Spray Equipment
Spraying equipment must be cleaned thoroughly before
and after applying this product, particularly if a product with
the potential to injure plants was used prior to Pageant.
Good agitation should be maintained during the entire
application period.
If you have questions about calibration contact state extension service specialists, equipment manufacturers or other
experts. The system must contain a functional check valve,
vacuum-relief valve, and low-pressure drain appropriately
located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water-source
contamination from backflow.
Application Instructions
Apply Pageant according to the rate, timing, resistance
management and adjuvant use recommendations in the
use directions in Table 2 and Table 3 in this label.
Pageant may be applied by ground sprayers such as
tractor groundboom, backpack/handboom, handwand, etc.; aerial spray with fixed-wing aircraft or
helicopter; and by chemigation using sprinkler and
drip irrigation.
The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional,
automatic quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of
fluid back toward the injection pump. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed
solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the
injection pump and connected to the system interlock to
prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank
when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide
injection pump when the water pump motor stops. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which will stop the water pump motor when
the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide
distribution is adversely affected. Systems must use a
metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection
pump (e.g. diaphragm pump), effectively designed and
constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
Aerial Application Directions
Pageant may be applied aerially to field-grown nursery
plants using a minimum of 10 gallons per acre of finished
spray solution. Use the Pageant rate per 100 gallons in
Table 2 concentrated into 10 gallons per acre only for
aerial applications. DO NOT apply aerially when environmental conditions favor drift from target area. Drift potential
is lowest when wind speed does not exceed 10 mph.
No aerial application in New York State except as
permitted under FIFRA Section 24(c), Special Local
Need Registration.
Use Precautions for Sprinkler and Drip Irrigation
Applications
Drip Irrigation. Pageant may be applied through drip irrigation systems to potted ornamentals or to bedded, fieldgrown ornamentals for soilborne disease control. Apply
8 to 16 ozs Pageant per acre as a preventive disease
application. The soil or potting media must have adequate
moisture capacity prior to drip application.
Allow sufficient time for pesticide to be flushed through all
lines and all nozzles before turning off irrigation water. A
person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and
responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of
the responsible person, shall shut the system down and
make necessary adjustments should the need arise. DO
NOT connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse
systems) used for pesticide application to a public water
system unless the pesticide label prescribed safety devices
for public water systems are in place.
Terminate drip irrigation at fungicide depletion or after 6
hours from start, whichever is shorter. For maximum efficacy, subsequent irrigation (water only) should be delayed
for at least 24 hours following drip application.
Specific Instructions for Public Water Systems
1. Public water system means a system for the provision to
the public of piped water for human consumption if such
system has at least 15 service connections or regularly
serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least
60 days out of the year.
2. Chemigation systems connected to public water
systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure
zone back-flow preventer (RPZ) or the functional equivalent in the water supply line upstream from the point of
pesticide introduction. As an option to the RPZ, the
water from the public water system must be discharged
into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There
shall be a complete physical break (air gap) between the
outlet end of the fill pipe and the top or overflow rim of
the reservoir tank of at least 2 times the inside diameter
of the fill pipe.
Sprinkler Irrigation. Pageant may be applied by sprinkler
irrigation to potted ornamentals, or to bedded, field-grown
ornamentals. Apply this product through sprinkler irrigation
systems including center pivot, lateral move, end tow, side
[wheel] roll, traveler, big gun, solid set, or hand move irrigation systems.
DO NOT apply this product through any other type of irrigation system, except as specified on this label.
Apply with center pivot or continuous-move equipment distributing 1/2 acre-inch or less during treatment. In general,
use the least amount of water required for proper distribution and coverage. If stationary systems (solid set, handlines or wheel lines other than continuous-move) are used,
apply this product by injection into no more than the last
20 to 30 minutes of the set.

4. Emulsifiable concentrates (oil concentrate or methylated seed oil when applicable). Cap the jar and invert
10 cycles.
5. Water-soluble additives. Cap the jar and invert
10 cycles.
6. Let the solution stand for 15 minutes.
7. Evaluate the solution for uniformity and stability. The
spray solution should not have free oil on the surface, or
fine particles that precipitate to the bottom, or thick
(clabbered) texture. DO NOT use any spray solution that
could clog spray nozzles.
3. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic quick-closing check valve to prevent
the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
4. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, normally closed solenoid-operated valve located
on the intake side of the injection pump and connected
to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being
withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation
system is either automatically or manually shut down.
5. The system must contain functional interlocking controls
to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump
when the water pump motor stops, or in cases where
there is no water pump, when the water pressure
decreases to the point that pesticide distribution is
adversely affected.
6. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive
displacement injection pump (e.g. diaphragm pump),
effectively designed and constructed of materials that
are compatible with pesticides and capable of being
fitted with a system interlock.
Mixing Order

Additives and
General Tank Mixing Information
Pageant™ fungicide can be tank mixed with most recommended fungicides, insecticides, herbicides, liquid fertilizers, biological control products, adjuvants, and additives.
If tank mixtures are used, adhere to restrictions due to
rates, label recommendations and precautions on all
labels.
Under some conditions, the use of additives or adjuvants
may improve the performance of Pageant. However, all
varieties and cultivars have not been tested with possible
tank mix combinations. Local conditions can also influence
plant tolerance and may not match those under which
BASF has conducted testing. Physical incompatibility,
reduced disease control, or plant injury may result from
mixing Pageant with other products. Therefore, before
using any tank mix (fungicides, insecticides, herbicides,
liquid fertilizers, biological control products, adjuvants, and
additives), test the combination on a small portion of the

Use enough solution to wet the root zone of the plant. Provide a welldrained substrate at the time of application. Avoid watering plants for
several hours before application in order to improve plant uptake of the
product. Repeat applications as needed within 7 to 21 days.
Applications made to Plugs and Propagation trays or beds: Use a
broadcast or directed spray applied in sufficient water to obtain thorough coverage of the plant crown and plant stem with thorough wetting
of the soil surface.

Plant Species Tolerant to Pageant
Plants in Table 5 have been found to be tolerant to Pageant when it is applied according to the use recommendations
stated in this label.
The phytotoxic potential of Pageant has been assessed on a wide variety of common ornamental plants with no phytotoxicity observed. Not all plant species and their varieties and cultivars have been tested for tolerance to Pageant, possible tank mix combinations of Pageant, pesticide treatments preceding or following those of Pageant, and combinations
of Pageant with adjuvants or surfactants. Local conditions can also influence plant tolerance and may not match those
under which BASF has conducted testing. Therefore, before using Pageant, test the product on a sample of the plant to
be treated to ensure that a phytotoxic response will not occur prior to large-scale use.
Additives or spray adjuvants are usually not necessary for use with Pageant. If they are needed, use only surfactants
approved for ornamental plants in combination with Pageant. Test the product combination on a sample of the plant to
be treated to ensure that a phytotoxic response will not occur prior to large-scale use. DO NOT use organosiliconebased adjuvants with Pageant, as plant phytotoxicity may result on certain ornamental species.
Impatiens and petunia occasionally have shown discoloration on the flowers following applications of Pageant made
directly onto the flowers. Be cautious with application of Pageant when these species are flowering. Not all cultivars and
flower colors have been evaluated. Before making applications of Pageant on the entire area, a small area should be
treated first to ensure that a phytotoxic response will not occur.
